When Gianni Versace was gunned down on the steps of his Ocean Drive mansion, many of us were sort of hoping Casa Casuarina would become a museum of sorts paying homage to the designer and all he did for South Beach. Not so much. As you all know, the mansion became not only a stop on the Kodak...

When it comes to television shows, the one thing that really matters are the ratings. And in Miami Social's case, the show was like the runty kid in grade school getting bullied, big time. Apparently the show drew a meager 648,000 viewers on its debut night, coming in a monstrous 57 percent l...

Oh boy, the show hasn't even aired yet and the reviews of Bravo's Miami Social just keep getting worse. Well, the LA Times didn't loathe it like the NY Times and Miami Herald did, but it's LA and bad TV there is like a 3 p.m. rainstorm in the summer here. And with that, today's round up of th...

Britain's Daily Star wins the prize for the most absurd Michael Jackson story thus far, claiming that The Forge's Al Malnik is the biological dad of Jackson's youngest child, Prince Michael II, aka Blanket. The rag took Malnik's statements out of context, of course, to wrongfully assume he wa...

On May 17, 2003, Michael Jackson was the big headliner---emphasis on big head if you see his 'fro wig--at the 70th birthday bash of then financial advisor and owner of The Forge, Alvin Malnik. With the invitation, a recorded CD was sent out with Jackson singing the praises of his favorite resta...

According to the South Beach Condos Blog, Naomi Campbell's tycoon boyfriend Vladislav Doronin is the buyer of Shaquille O'Neal's Star Island sprawl. And he got a bargain, too. The house sold for $19 million less than the original, outrageous list price of $35 million. Still, for that money, h...

We just heard from a Bravo spokesperson who officially confirmed that the casting we reported earlier is neither a "Real Housewives" series, nor is it associated with the network. We asked if there was ever a possibility that Miami would join the batty, bratty brand, and all the spokesperson ...

Move over Kelly, Bethenny, Danielle and the ladies of Orange County and make room for the alleged Miami version of Bravo's Real Housewives brand of bitching, backstabbing, bullsh*tting, and shameless self promotion. If we believe our sources, however, Bravo may want to change the name of thei...

Beggars can't be choosers, so since summer arrived way too early here, we're experiencing the usual dearth of dirt, albeit a month earlier than usual and therefore we'll take what we can get. It's as dry as Paula Abdul's sippy cup after an episode of American Idol and we want a refill on the ...
